Textile

If you want something other than traditional black leather or leatherette, you can get a very cool result with canvas-weight textiles.

What sets a textile apart on classic cameras, is a real surface in place of the artificial one you're accustomed to. A fabric's appearance, texture and structure are all one and the same. And fiber construction has endless detail, for a striking contrast against smooth metal.
 
The bolder colors here might seem cartoonish on embossed leather or leatherette. But they come across as well-ordered, even elegant, in the form of a woven.  Click through below for a closer look at each.

These are all translucent to some degree. Light bounces among the fibers, and on lighter tones, reaches down to the camera's metal shell. The Hasselblad waist-level finder here, shows how bright metal under these coverings can add "pop". The Argus C3 gives the same effect at lower cost, if the Hasselblad isn't in your budget.

Like our other sets,  these come pre-cut to fit precisely, with the same peel-away adhesive backing. They're also tough, long-wearing and nearly impervious to scratches and divots. Cotton blends have a resin coat that can be wiped clean. The full synthetics are water resistant, and can be dry or wet-brushed clean
